UNDERSTANDING GOD’S TIMES AND SEASONS
“But for you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness will arise with healing in His wings..” Malachi 4:2

Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Tammuz
Tammuz—The Fourth Month of the Hebrew Year 5780
June 23–July 21, 2020
1. A month to see and establish the brilliance of your righteousness. Even when negative things happen, we can shine brighter and brighter through praise and declaration. See Isaiah 58:8, Psalm 112:4, and Daniel 12:3. Note that Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians during this month (see Jeremiah 39:2), a very negative thing. However in this same month, Ezekiel also saw the glory of God (Ezekiel 1:1). Believe to see the glory of God. Remember that we have just come through Pentecost, which has to do with words that we speak. God wants us declaring His truth, His gospel, and His power. As we do so, the more He confirms with signs and wonders and miracles (Heb. 2:4). Remember too that this whole decade of 5780 actually means to proclaim or to declare. So, let’s shine in what we say!
2. A month to make choices so we fulfill our potential. The month of the tribe of Reuben. He lost his inheritance as firstborn. Reuben is an example of someone with great potential who didn’t deal with his basic issues and failed to excel. The Lord wants to deal with blind spots and other unresolved issues so we can spring ahead. Genesis 49:3–4 describes Reuben: “beginning of power; excellence and dignity; unstable as water.”
3. A month to shine through our worship (Worship even when there are delays). God wants us to really shine this month, and one of the ways will be through worship. Ask the Lord to take your worship to a new level. Note that Moses’s face glowed after being with the Lord. Also notice that the people worshiped the golden calf (Exod. 32:1) because they couldn’t accept delay. Therefore, thank God for any delay and keep worshiping Him. As we submit to Him in worship, He also brings issues in our lives into submission.
4. A month to either accept your calling or to speak an evil report of who you are. We have a choice of which it will be. People fall into negativity because they don’t know how to speak out who they are. You must like yourself. If you don’t, then there’s something about the Lord that you don’t like. Look at past prophecies of who you are and declare them during this month. They will be like seeds you sow which will bring a great harvest in October (Feast of Tabernacles).
5. The month of the letter chet [ח], which means “light radiating from your eyes.” The devil tries to put this light out. Chet is also tied to the number “8,” which signifies new beginnings; it also is referred to as the letter of “life,” but can also mean “sin.” Through this letter, God is showing us that we can, and must, choose correctly so that we don’t fall into negativity. See Isaiah 42:6 and Revelation 1:14.
6. Take time to look at yourself. If you keep going the way you are, how will you end up? Therefore, stop and make any necessary adjustments. Ask the Lord to show you how you might end up if you aren’t careful to walk with Him.
7. The month where we must allow ourselves to be soft and vulnerable to the Lord. Our shell must be removed so that we are vulnerable. If you don’t allow yourself to be vulnerable, you will become hardened and won’t be able to enter into the next stage of growth. Ask the Lord to remove any hardness or shell from you.
8. A month to guard your heart—what you feel and think, as well as your eyes—what you allow yourself to see. “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse” (Deut. 11:26). See also Deuteronomy 30:15, which states, “I have set before you today life and good, death and evil.”
9. The month of the right hand—the aligning covenant. See Song of Solomon 5:2–12. Remember your covenants—the right hand has to do with covenants and relationships. Ask the Lord for a new level of intimacy with Him. We have just come through the month of Pentecost, which was about aligning. Now watch for those the Lord brings to align with you to move you ahead into your destiny.

Notes From: Glory Of Zion:
May 24 - June 22, 2020
The Jews knew that every month was a new prophetic season . Every month had its own meaning in God’s prophetic plans for our lives, so at the beginning of each month they would gather for a First Fruits celebration to honour the Lord first and seek revelation on how to pray for the month ahead. The Jews knew that if they could stay in God’s timing they could prosper every season.
Blessings for the Hebrew Month of Sivan
The Third Month of the Hebrew Year 5780
May 24–June 22, 2020
1. It is a month of outpouring because this is what God wants to do for us. God entered into covenant with the Israelites at Sinai and gave them revelation. In Acts 2, He poured out the Holy Spirit upon them. Expect great outpouring this month of Pentecost (May 29–30)
2. It is a month of provision, a month when the gift of Holy Spirit was poured out, the good and perfect gift. Exercise the gifts of Holy Spirit within you this month.
3. It’s a month of favour.
4. It’s a month for giving. “As ye sow so shall you reap”. Sow big and you shall reap a harvest this month.
5. It’s a month to extend mercy.
6. It’s a month for business. The Tribe associated with this month of Sivan is the Tribe of Zebulun who traded from the abundance of the sea. It’s a “business month” . God wants us to learn about prosperity. Genesis 49:13 states, “Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea;” Deuteronomy 33:19 states, “For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas and of treasures hidden in the sand.” It’s a time to start a business.
7. It’s a month of provision. The camels are coming! God is preparing us to receive the power to create wealth and you will prosper this season. Come into agreement and believe. It’s a time to take the land..it’s a time to buy real estate.
8. It’s a time to sow. Sow and you will see a harvest.
9. The “ Hebrew letter” associated with the month of Sivan is the letter “Zayin”. It means the month of the “SWORD”. The Word of God is both sword and spirit. It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. Repent of idle words and declare the goodness of God.
10. It’s a month of Victory. “Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous of the Lord.
11. It’s a month to sing the song of the Bride. Make yourself ready. The Bridegroom is waiting. He longs to see His Bride:
My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
11
See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
12
Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
The cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
Arise, come, my darling one,
come with me. SS:2:10-13
